SEBASTOPOL, Calif. (June 4, 2001) - ZAPWORLD.COM (Nasdaq:ZAPP) announced today that its new model POWERBIKE® is scheduled to appear on The Today Show tomorrow morning, Tuesday, June 5, 2001.

The Today Show, hosted by Matt Lauer and Katie Couric, airs from 7:00 to 10:00 AM on NBC. Check local listings for exact time and channel.

ZAP has been told by the producers of the The Today Show's "Best Stuff" segment that a couple of different electric bicycles will be featured during the segment. However, at a price under $500, ZAP's believes its new model POWERBIKE to be one of the lowest-priced electric bicycles on the market. Its new design integrates a lightweight propulsion system with a direct drive belt transmission that combines with user input for a top-speed of 16 MPH and a range of up to 12 miles.

ZAP's products have been popular with The Today Show. Last summer, Matt Lauer took ZAP's new POWERSKI™ for a spin during their live telecast. The POWERSKI is a two-wheeled electrical device that pulls skaters along the cement like a water skier. ZAP's other electric bicycles and scooters have also been featured on TODAY.
